[STDS-802-16] Comments on 802.16 Revision PAR from NesCom Member

Jon,

I have received comments on the 802.16 Revision PAR from a NesCom Member. Please consider them in the Maintenance Task Group on Wednesday.

Regarding the first comment, I would suggest a response such as the following:

'Regarding the first comment, we cite Subclause 9.2 of the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual: "The Sponsor shall initiate revision of a standard whenever any of the material in the standard (including all amendments, corrigenda, etc.) becomes obsolete or incorrect, or if three or more amendments to a base standard exist three years after its approval or most recent reaffirmation." This allows for the possibility that additional amendments may be approved to the base standard up until the three-year deadline. The PAR recognizes the possibility that the revision may later incorporate those additional amendments.'



Regards,

Roger

Subject: P802.16 - Comments Received from NesCom Member

Dear Roger:

The following comments have been received from Jon Rosdahl, NesCom member, 
regarding the above referenced project.

I believe that revisions have to be done in required times, i.e. after 4 
amendments are done it is required.  In the notes, it is indicated that 
"(and possible subsequent amendments)" so the standard may get more than 
the 4 listed. 

Also I believe that while the corrigenda developed by the group is viable 
for the revision, I am uncertain why we have listed the group specific 
document rather than a P&P or IEEE process. 

Please respond directly to Jon via e-mail at jrosdahl@ieee.org and copy me 
on all correspondence.   In its current state, you cannot access the PAR 
for edit.  All revisions to the PAR should be indicated in your response 
so that the changes may be made by the NesCom administrator.

Your response is requested no later than Friday, 16 March.  Thank you in 
advance for your response.

Kind Regards,
